Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different

Totally had me fooled with the truck that is driving backwards dumping spice out of its front.
Bojangles was founded in NC but the company has been shuffled through so many investment firms now, it’s basically just a brand with zero soul.

You’re definitely not from NC. Not saying your wrong, but the people here identify with boj to an insane degree.

I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.
It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.

Yeah, people are weird. I tired to say I preferred Popeyes to boj and had a room of people who were borderline upset about it. Silly.

The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.

Bojangles is indeed a mere shadow of what it once was.
